Adam’s NOVA Forecast for 4.18.19

Happy Thursday, everyone! Easterly winds will help keep things slightly cool out there, though temperatures by day and by night have been consistently above average. As a warm front lifts to our north today, temperatures will surge well into the mid to upper 70s under partly sunny skies. This will also spark the chance for a few isolated showers from time to time. Overall, however, it’s still a nice day to get outside.

Cloud cover will increase overnight ahead of Friday’s low pressure system. While much of the morning is dry, showers and some gusty thunderstorms are likely the later into the day we go. A few of these storms may be strong to severe in intensity, with heavy rain and gusty winds acting as the primary concerns. Rain will likely linger into Saturday as an upper level low will be rather slow to get out of the region. A few rumbles of thunder are possible during this time as well.

Much of Easter Sunday should be dry beyond a few showers in the morning. Another frontal boundary will approach from the north and stall nearby. We’ll be on the south side of the front, keeping warm air in place. We’ll see 70s for highs through the first half of next week with a daily chance for some scattered showers and a few thunderstorms.
